Comment:I have been taking the XR 20mg a day for about 6 months now and it has completely changed my life. You would have never known I had an attention problem because I was a very active teenager. I was involved in sports, many extracuricular activities and worked since I was 16 so my mind was constantly focused on something different. It became a problem after becoming a single mom. I couldn't organize any thought. If there was too much going on I couldn't focus to organize it. I didn't pay bills, I took extreme chances, and even forgot I was a mom sometimes. After finally confessing to my mother how i felt she suggested talking to my PCP. He gave me the 20mg XR 6 months ago and now I feel as though I am actually living my life. I have since fixed my finances, gotten promoted at work, and enjoy my time with my daughter so much more. I would suggest this treament to anyone as long as their Dr. agrees. Use caution when taking this it can be very addicting, and should not for children that have no gone through puberty. i have lost 30 pounds since start because of the lack of appetite and amount of exercise i do. I also have about two nights a week that i have trouble falling asleep. over all I thank myself every day for being able to communicate how I felt. I am finally the person I always wanted to be and never thought could be.Hide Full Comment

Comment:this drug causes extreme depression after extended use. i believe this drug should be taken OFF the market and reevaluated. this drug can cause thoughts of suicide, eratic behavior, mood swings, bouts of hysteria and overall should be in a class of its own for ONLY the severely mentally ill that need institutionalizing! the fact that CHILDREN are taking this drug is HORRIFIC and is going to end up doing more damage then good in the longrun. i truly believe that this is one of our biggest problems in America today....adults and worse yet CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS running around 0n legal meth!!!! get rid of this drug and more importantly the thought process that people need this to pay attention.Hide Full Comment

Comment: I loved being on adderall. But after heart palipitations I decided to stop - feeling additionally like I was becoming addicted. I suffered from complete drug induced psychosis that was misdiagnosed as bi-polar and caused me to have a total break down. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG it is dangerous! Do not stop taking adderal cold turkey either it also causes bad things to happen!

Comment:I have been on Adderall for 3 years now. Its been a miracle for my school and work life. However, this drug is addicting and can easily be abused. It has really helped me but I worry about my dependence on it and the effects it may be having on my heart in the long run. Using this drug takes a lot of self discipline but if you can be responsible with it it can truly help the quality of your life. I have suffered with Attention Deficit problems my entire life and once I was diagnosed as an adult and I started taking this drug I finally felt like I was a normal functioning human being. I am not a space cadet anymore, I can finish tasks, ext... I recommend this drug but with caution.Hide Full Comment
